Thursday Session #8 - May 3, 1984
Gloria’s Circle

PRESENT: Connie Faubel, Sharon Sawyer, David Burns, Kristine Curry, Peggy and Corbin Willis,
Tony Richardson, Wes Sinclair, Lynn Corwin, Barbara Rhodes, Karl Lofquist, Jan Corwin, Dorothy Lee,
and Medium - Gloria Rivers

GLORIA: Are you ready for lessons tonight?

["Hopefully."]

Still your bodies. Begin to concentrate. Breathe deeply. Relax your abdomens.
Let the tension drain out of your shoulders. Tonight we have a white candle instead of a pink one, so
tonight envision a white rose, and let the candle help you concentrate. Get a real clear picture of the
Rosebud. Feel its freshness, its youth, sense its aroma, and slowly then allow your envisioned rose begin
to open itself, and as the petals of the rose open, concentrate firmly because my trance depends on your
concentration.

Begin to feel as though you are that rose and your consciousness is opening to
participate in tonight's meeting, to receive whatever light is here to be had, even as the rose opens itself to
the sunlight.

SHEARIAM: Good evening all. And how have you fared since last we met?

[Various responses.]

Have you been studying?

[Responses.]

Before we proceed with the prepared lesson tonight, do you have any
question pertinent to our topic?

TONY: You mean previous topics?

SHEARIAM: We are talking in this class about consciousness, are we not?

[Affirmative responses.]

DAVID: I have a question on that. What is the difference between the waking
consciousness we use when we are awake, and whatever we use when we are asleep?

SHEARIAM: There is no difference in the consciousness itself, only in the level of awareness.

DAVID: So it's the same consciousness, it's just that it kind of dims when we go to sleep?

SHEARIAM: Awareness. That is the difference. When you are in your waking consciousness, as
you term it, you are simply in a waking awareness, and when you go to sleep, there is a separation
between the subtle bodies and the physical body, as we have discussed. When you are asleep, your
awareness goes with the subtle bodies, consciousness remains everywhere present in as much force
as exists during the daytime or waking hours. The consciousness is the same. The difference lies in
your perception of it, in your awareness of your environment, both external and internal.

DAVID: Does it expand, then, as we go to sleep and become more aware?

SHEARIAM: Your awareness expands into different realms.

DAVID: But it's too much for when we wake up to really recall everything we did there?

SHEARIAM: It is not too much, it is simply that man has created for himself a state of awareness
in which he chooses not to remember. If you choose to remember, you can.

SITTER: Are there some type of exercises that we might use to help us to be more receptive to this
teaching and remember what the lessons were? Just do this through meditation?

SHEARIAM: Meditation is, of course, one avenue, but the so-called subconscious mind, which is
not subconscious at all, but which works below the level of waking awareness, is suggestible. This
level of awareness can be reached through self-hypnosis and through waking awareness
suggestions. One of the best times in which the rational mind can reach this subjective mind is at
the moment of going to sleep. A repeated suggestion that you will remember when you awaken all
the experience that you have while the body sleeps will ultimately result in your remembering.

["Thank you."]

SITTER: But then you have to figure out what the symbols mean to you before you can really
understand what your dream meant to you.

SHEARIAM: That is true. In your waking awareness you have accepted certain conventions for
the symbols all about you, including your language. The mind speaks in the symbols of experience,
thus the messages delivered will be delivered in symbols which must be reduced to language and
thus understood. As you develop a comprehension of symbology, you do not have to reduce the
symbols to language, you can encompass the concept as a whole and understand the message.

CORBIN: I don't get symbols. when I record it at night, but I channel to get the information, is that
the same thing as having symbols?

SHEARIAM: Then you could do that in a waking state.

CORBIN: Yes, I do it in a waking state. I put down only two or three words or a few more words
than that, and then channel it in the morning to get the information. But I don't get symbols.

SHEARIAM: Not at the channeling, no, because you are in the process of remembering and
reducing to language simultaneously. Most efficient.

DAVID: Would it be the brain that reduces it to language?

SHEARIAM: No. The brain is merely an instrument, as the tongue is. Do not confuse "mind"
with the "brain."

DAVID: Yes, but doesn't mind function through brain when we are as we call ourselves
"awake?"

SHEARIAM; Certainly. But the brain does not reduce symbols to language. Mind does.

KRISTINE: Since we were discussing remembering, why is it that some of us sometimes cannot recall
in our waking state people's names, things that are familiar to us, that seem very common and everyday,
and yet we seem to forget those things?

SHEARIAM: The subjective mind of man at his current state of evolution functions at about the
level of a three-year old and thus enjoys playing games.

TONY: Is that well enough said for you?

[Laughter.]

SHEARIAM: We have some material to cover tonight, so let us be on our way. You will recall that
as given before, in the least unit of your universe exists nine components. Do you remember that?

KRISTINE: Yes, I remember talking about it.

SHEARIAM: Tonight we are going to talk about polarities. As given, two forces oppose each
other. Now, when we say positive and negative, do not equate these with good and evil. Rather
think of terminals on a battery. Each terminal is only given a label in order to distinguish it from
the other, so that current does not cross harmfully.

Rather, perhaps, we should speak of the positive polarity as being seminal,
outgoing. I might say extrovert, if you do not put that in terms of personality. And the negative
pole would be the receptive, the introvert. If you would imagine to yourselves a tube made of some
soft material, which you could then turn inside out, you would have some representation, or
symbology, of this business of positive and negative. If we were to say that when the tube has the
right side of the material out, that might be said to be positive, and when the tube is pulled through
itself and the wrong side of the material is outside, that might be said to be negative. In neither
instance does the label change the quality of the tube. Do you understand that?

[Responses.]

Given the twin minds, the perceiver and the creative, the creative would be
said to be positive, and the perceptive negative. One takes in and the other gives out. Neither can
work without the other, as a battery will not work without its poles.

So we come to the three components of Life, Quality and Quantity. These
three form the trinity of spirit. Spirit is a poor word to describe what is meant, but at this moment
it is probably the only one if your language which would do the job for you. In this instance, Spirit
would be in the negative or receptive polarity. Then consciousness and volition pair to become
thought, which is the positive polarity, or the seminal. It takes both polarities to produce form.

Now, as Cosmos gives birth to a Universe, all components are present and
accounted for. It is the action within these components working positively and negatively,
seminally and receptively, upon each other that produces the form which ultimately comes down to
manifest as your physical world; but between your physical world and this originating of the
universe lie many, many forms, and many manifestations, none of which have the importance to
you as the condition in which you find yourselves at this very moment.

But as you become aware that these components are at work in you and in
your lives, you become more aware of how the polarities work against each other to produce the
form of your life. As you generate the life circumstances, you find drawn into your life that which
finds affinity with the polarity being emphasized. Obviously, when the polarities are unequal there
is some deficiency in the form manifest, and thus you find your lives less than satisfactory. This is
the balance which is romanticized by metaphysicians and occultists. There is no magical secret. It
is a very simple thing.And it is awareness that enables your consciousness to do what it needs to
do.

Now, as given before, as worlds are formed, as manifestation comes into
being, some of the components become less powerful than others. And so into your world has come
consciousness with all its power, quality has more power than quantity, and the word "life" does
not mean a span of years. Perhaps a better word would be "livingness," as you think of superior
realms of beingness.

To simplify, perhaps we can run analogy, and say that the universe is an ego. An ego, the
word "ego," simply means an entity. The universe of which you are a part is an entity. Ego is
comprised of the nine components. And as that ego generates form, power is transferred from one
component to another. As you exercise your consciousness, you can transfer power from one
component to another. Because the structure of the universe has brought into being, this condition
of Earth life, there are certain forms which you cannot avoid, you cannot get out of. We discussed
this previously to some degree in the genetic code of your physical organism. It was also mentioned
that your subtle bodies have genetic codes as well. These genetic codes are simply arrangements of
these nine components.

Now, in the material given you by Judith, you are given the seven laws which
govern your universe. You are also given the principles upon which those laws build, and you are
given the attributes which are meant to be manifest in their wholeness and their perfection. I
highly recommend that you study that material to give you a springboard towards that very
perfection that you seek.

Are there any questions about what has been raised thus far?

KRISTINE: I have a question. Can you explain how this energy is transferred between the nine
components? Can you give an example of how we transfer that energy?

SHEARIAM: You transfer energy by awareness. If your attention is focused into satisfying
sensory demand or enjoyment, you are involved in a peculiarity of your life. However, if you
decide that you are going to transmute that sensory experience into an artistic creation, or an
entertaining story, or some other activity, you have transferred some of the power into the creative
mind. When you use volition to pay attention to what is going on outside of your own immediate
sensory experience, you transfer power from volition to perception. Each time power is
transferred by awareness, one pole or the other is activated. Does that help you?

KRISTINE: Yes. During meditation, is this energy enhanced, or made stronger? I'm not quite sure
how ... you're talking about awareness, and this transfer ... I'm not quite sure what I'm asking. Can anyone
help me?

SHEARIAM: Energy is a greatly misused word. As a quality given form in the Earth condition,
there is a certain amount of energy which your organism can absorb, transmute, and emit. There
is a given resistance to the physical organism, and thus it can become overloaded, under certain
conditions. Meditation allows awareness to better use the apportionment of energy belonging to
your organism. Does that help you?

["Yes."]

CORBIN: Can you use visualization and by thought control transmit your energy?

SHEARIAM: You do not transmit your energy. Thought can be shared and, in your terms of time
and space, "transmitted." You can, through thought, which is a combination of your components
of consciousness and volition, activate certain components in other people, which energizes or
activates their energy.

KRISTINE: Are you speaking of healing?

SHEARIAM: Healing, excitement, amorousness, hostility, anger. These are transmitted by
thought, not energy. Now, there is energy exchange in another manner.

The electro-magnetic field which surrounds your organism is also
surrounded, then, by finer electrical fields which extend some great distance from you. As you
bring physical organisms nearer to each other in distance, finer electrical fields meet and
interweave, and thus it is that some of the electro-magnetic charge can be withdrawn from one
person to another. But you cannot distribute that electro-magnetic charge.

Do you understand the difference?

KRISTINE: I don't quite understand the difference. Can you elaborate?

SHEARIAM: When you approach another organism in a healing mode of thought, the thought
transmission stimulates the centers of healing in the other organism. By application of your auric
field to the auric field of the other, you can bring some adjustments, reorganizations, but you
cannot transfer power.

DAVID: You help them initiate their own then?

SHEARIAM: That is correct.

CORBIN: When you approach the auric field and go through the motions of soothing it for healing
purposes, this auric field is not penetrated? You can feel the energy in your hands being transmitted.
How do you mean you are not using that energy?

SHEARIAM: You misunderstood what I said. The auric fields interpenetrate, they interact with
each other, and can bring readjustment, re-alignment, but you do not transmit your energy to
another organism. You may have your electro-magnetic charge syphoned off from you by one who
is weaker than you, but the energy which comes into your organism through the crown chakra is
retained by the organism and its bodies, and that energy is distributed to the parts of the body and
is then transmuted and returned to universal. What you feel with your sensory tactile sense is the
electro-magnetic charge.

It is important for the sake, at least, of these lessons, to understand the
difference between the energy which is delivered to you by your connection with the universe, and
the electro-magnetic charge which surrounds you.


TONY: How do you replenish that electro-magnetic charge? What's an effective method?

SHEARIAM: Unfortunately, with the exception of a few highly elevated individuals, at the present
time human beings replenish their charge by drawing on someone else.

TONY: What is the preferred method?

SHEARIAM: When you are sufficiently raised in awareness, you can re-charge with universal
energy.

TONY: The energy that you said is already coming in through the crown?

SHEARIAM: Yes. But you see whatever energy you retain, that you do not transmute and return
to the universe, stops the circulation system, impairs the circulation. It is your duty to share in the
circulation of universal energies, but not through your organism to another organism, but through
the universal system.

DAVID: By giving it back.

SHEARIAM: By giving it back to the universe. Yes. After it has been transmuted. As the energy
comes through the crown chakra, and travels down through the system of chakras, it becomes then,
rather than being life-promoted already as it is when it enters the crown chakra, by the time it
reaches the root chakra, it becomes life-promoting energy, and then must be raised by you back up
through the chakra system, transmuted back out of physical energy into what you call spiritual
energy, which is in fact universal energy.

DAVID: Would that be giving it back the same as you took it in, then?

SHEARIAM: No. Transmuted by the consciousness through which it has circulated.

TONY: Correct me if I misunderstood you, but my understanding of what was said was
that people have a tendency to draw from one another the electro-magnetic charge, and an alternate
method might be to transfer some energy from the crown chakra into that energy. But then I got the
impression that wasn't preferred either.

SHEARIAM: "Preferred" is the wrong word. At this point in time, you do not have the capacity to
do that. Only certain highly elevated souls.

CORBIN: Can't you call on The Masters for that energy and receive it? That's the way I would take
it to be.

SHEARIAM: But you are missing the point. The Masters do not give you your energy, nor do they
give you of their energy. You participate in universal energy according to the form of
manifestation which your creator has created. You may call upon The Masters for aid, and they
may lend their consciousness, and whatever else, to help you attain an end, but it is not The
Masters' energies which sustain your physical organism, nor is it The Masters' energies which
sustains your electro-magnetic charge.

TONY: If we tend to draw off of others for our electro-magnetic charge, and we are not
developed enough to transmute energy that is coming through our crown, is there some other alternative
we can use rather than drawing off of other people?

SHEARIAM: First of all, evidently I gave you a misconception. It is not wrong to draw upon
another. That is in the way of being human. You are constantly exchanging your charges. There
are some that you feel more drawn to than others. True?

["True."]

That is due to the electro-magnetic charge, not the energy which comes in to
sustain the body and bring growth and repair.

PEGGY: Maybe when you are saying "energy," we are thinking "life force." Because the
way you are using energy, I think, is the way we would use life force.

TONY: Like prana?

PEGGY: Well, you know you are alive, and you are alive because of the life force; it's
Cosmic Energy, but we are using this energy, and we use energy for so many things, I think we're getting
it mixed up.

SHEARIAM: This is why I am trying to help you get your thinking straightened out in order to
understand the lessons we wish to deliver. If we do not speak the same language, we are both
wasting our time.

DAVID: All right, then, if we don't use the energy that comes in through the crown ...

SHEARIAM: But you do use the energy that comes in through the crown to operate that physical
organism and the subtle bodies surrounding it. All of the tissue repair, all of the digestive
processes, everything that occurs with the physical organism depends upon the energy supply at
the crown chakra. But once that energy has been used by your own physical organism, it must be
transmuted and returned to the universal to be used again. If you were in a position to distribute
that energy at will wherever you wished, willy-nilly, the world would long since have disappeared.

KARL: I'm at a loss to know just what you mean by "crown chakra."

SHEARIAM: The very center of the top of one's head is a sensitive point through which universal
energy enters the organism, and it is called the crown chakra. We are going to talk about chakras
in greater detail once we have the semantics down to where we can understand each other.

TONY: Then I would say from what I've understood so far we are expected to share our
electro-magnetic energy?

SHEARIAM: Charge. Yes.

DAVID: What is the purpose of the electro-magnetic charge then?

SHEARIAM: It holds you together, for one thing. Not only the particles of your body, but the
units of family, and the units of nation, and so on.

DAVID: Okay. Are there any other things that we need to be concerned about that it does,
besides keeping us together?

SHEARIAM: You can be concerned when you discover that your charge is being drawn upon
without your consent.

KRISTINE: What happens to you then?

SHEARIAM: You become weak, nauseous, headachy, ill. Become aware of those points of
vulnerability where this can happen. Primarily the hands, the knees, and the feet, and the small of
the back.

KRISTINE: Can we assume that the part of the body that we feel is the weakest. Like, if we are sitting,
and we begin to get those symptoms, and say the back begins to ache, may we assume that that is the most
vulnerable area?

SHEARIAM: Yes. The hands become very cold, knees become cold, if the feet become cold, it is
best to take the organism into some other geographical location and apply whatever measures are
necessary to counteract that.

KRISTINE: And then when we approach a person who is lacking, or in that condition, when we do a
healing, we are simply balancing those electro-magnetic particles?

["That is true."]

We are not transferring energy from ourselves to that person?

["That is true."] We are just balancing their energy, or their particles?

SHEARIAM: That is true. You now have it.

CORBIN: Can't we protect our bodies by using the white light?

SHEARIAM: Again, this is a greatly misunderstood concept. It is such a romantic idea, it seems to
be such a glorious thing to participate in, and people have been misled by this glamor. The white
light has been determined to exist because people with clairvoyance have been able to see it
surrounding the organism, and they have said this is spiritual, this must be the Christ light.

I am saying to you that what is being seen is the electro-magnetic charge.
Unfortunately, because of superstition, ignorance, lack of information, a lot of ordinary physical
Earth-planet phenomena has been described as "spiritual." We are trying to teach you that much
of this is as physical as the organism that you wear, is just as much at your disposal with
intelligence, with good will, but also becomes the substance which can be used against you with ill
will.

TONY: You mentioned that if we are drained of our charge, that we should take measures
to replenish ourselves. What would be those measures?

SHEARIAM: One of the things that you do daily is to sleep, and during sleep certain portions of
your ... certain invisible portions of your organism become disassociated from the visible portion of
your organism, during which time it meets with other dissociated fields, and these exchanges are
accomplished.

TONY: You are referring to astral projection or astral travel?

SHEARIAM: That is a common terminology for it, yes.

PEGGY: Then, when you meditate and you feel you have rested and been energized, why does that
happen? I mean, what is happening in that case?

SHEARIAM: Meditation is a means of opening the crown chakra and taking in more of the energy
which belongs to you. Much of your daily life causes you to close down, and you do not accept your
full apportionment of supply.

KRISTINE: Are you talking about energy blocks that some people can feel? For instance, like in
acupressure, acupuncture?

PEGGY: That's different.

KRISTINE: Well, I'm asking.

SHEARIAM: Now, the energy which is your apportionment enters the chakra, and from the
chakra is disseminated throughout the organism to serve in whatever capacity is appropriate with
the mission. Energy becomes broken down, fragmented. Certain frequencies are for one purpose,
and other frequencies for other purposes. Frequency is not the truly the word, but perhaps
conveys the message. This energy, certain portions of this energy, sustain the field that you call the
acupressure meridians. The energy travels through and around the body in patterns.

Now, when awareness causes changes, generates emotions of some kind,
blockages in the patterns occur, and there are correspondences between these meridians and the
various inner parts of the physical organism, but also correspondences in the subtle bodies. There
is never only one thing out of adjustment. If there is a pain in any part of the physical organism,
then all correspondences are impaired.

KRISTINE: Is that why foot reflexology works?

SHEARIAM: Yes. But freeing up a blockage in one of the meridian pathways does not cause that
energy to leave the body, it simply then opens the way for the individual to do what he should do
with the energy.

CORBIN: Then it frees ... when I use an acupressure point, it frees and starts a flow from one
meridian to the point of damage to the vessel, and then it starts a free flow, and their energy is able to flow
again.

SHEARIAM: That is correct. Not only in the physical organism, but in the subtle bodies as well.

PEGGY: Then, when somebody does an aura fluffing, there is somebody doing it in the
subtle bodies, and it goes through to the physical organs, is that correct?

SHEARIAM: Again, you have overlooked what I said about the interpenetration of auric fields.
You can readjust and realign through the electro-magnetic charge which is present in the auric
field. It is not the energy that comes through the crown chakra and out again that does that.

PEGGY: No, that wasn't what I meant.

SHEARIAM: Then, perhaps, you should tell me what you mean by "fluffing the aura."

PEGGY: Well, I've seen it done, and they simply, like, smoothing a person's aura as they sit
there, and that is supposed to balance the person's energy, help them balance so that they feel better.
Now, I don't know how well it works.

SHEARIAM: But that is exactly what I have been describing. It is done with the electro-magnetic
charge and not with the essential life energy. When you place your hands near another person's
body, and move them through the aura, you are re-arranging the electro-magnetic charge. You are
not emitting your own vitality. You may transfer some of your charge to your subject if your
subject is weak enough to pull.

You might liken the physical organism to a piece of steel, for instance, that is
magnetized. There is still the capacity for electrical energy to be passed through that piece of steel.
The electrical energy passing through the steel is not the magnetic charge. They are two separate
things. If you bring two ...

[Tape change.]

... pole is touching which pole, and they are drawn together or are repelled.
That has nothing to do with any electrical energy which may be passing through them. It has only
to do with the magnetic charge placed upon them. Do you understand?

[Some discussion among sitters.]

So, for the sake of our discussion here, when we talk about energy, we are
speaking of the universal energy which is drawn into the organism to repair it, to sustain it, to
operate it. The organism itself is given an electrical charge at the time of the impregnation of the
ovum.

SITTER: Are most of us not adequately transmuting this energy and returning it to the universe?

SHEARIAM: That is correct. Most are not.

SITTER: In what ways are we blocking this, and how can we correct it?

SHEARIAM: Through awareness. Through study. Through becoming intimately knowledgeable
about your organism in all its parts.

KRISTINE: Is prayer one of those modes?

["Yes."]

Say, after a meditation, saying a prayer for the ... and sending out those thoughts ...

SHEARIAM: Remember thought, which is comprised of consciousness and volition, is seminal, it is
outgoing, it is directive. The trinity of Spirit, which is Life, Quality, and Quantity, is the negative
pole, it is the receptor. It is when Thought and Spirit unite that form is manifest. So when you
direct your thought to your subtle bodies, you are, in effect, uniting positive and negative and
creating a form. To the degree that the thought is perfect and the spirit receiving the thought is
perfect, the form resultant will be perfect.

["Thank you."]

SHEARIAM: I hear the wheels going around but I do not hear words!

KARL: I'm afraid of asking a question that doesn't pertain to the subject.

SHEARIAM: Thank you for not doing so!

[Laughter.]

WES: Would it be accurate to say that the energy is more concerned with the subtle bodies and
the magnetic charge with the physical body?

SHEARIAM: I do not believe that that could be said. It would appear that way in your condition,
I agree. Without the energy, the physical body would not sustain. It is that energy which is the
substance out of which Thought and Spirit can make form. The electro-magnetic charge has more
to do with the opposing forces and the twin minds.

PEGGY: Do some people have a stronger electro-magnetic charge than others?

SHEARIAM: Oh, yes!

SITTER: Would they be people with more charisma?

SHEARIAM: It would seem so. You might liken it to the batteries you use in your vehicle. There
are some batteries that are intended to deliver greater volume of power for a longer period of time,
and so there are certain physical organisms that are intended to live longer, to live more
powerfully, and thus they become sustainers of those about them.

PEGGY: But it's just whatever you get when you start.

SHEARIAM: As far as electro-magnetic is concerned, yes.

CORBIN: Those with greater charges, are they able to sap from the weaker?

SHEARIAM: No. The opposite. They are able to withstand more withdrawal of their charge.

TONY: So, are they considered healers at times?

SHEARIAM: Definitely.

Now, do not be confused in this case with people who have the capacity to
directly channel universal energy. These people have an elevation of consciousness that enables
them to tap into universal storehouse of energy on behalf of others, and that energy goes directly
through the crown chakra, down through the heart chakra, and out through the hands. This
energy does not have anything to do with their personal energy supply.

PEGGY: Not if they are acting as a channel only.

SHEARIAM: Only.

KRISTINE: Are there people in this room that are able to do that?

SHEARIAM: Yes.

KRISTINE: So it's not all that uncommon ...

["No."] ... to do that.

["Correct."]

Could you elaborate more on that ... or is it appropriate at this time?

SHEARIAM: What is to be said?

[Laughter.]

KRISTINE: What is the most appropriate way of channeling that? If you have a good attitude in terms
of healing, what is the best way to enhance that channel, that channeling effect?

SHEARIAM:You set aside personal concern. You have in the focus of your awareness only that
organism to which you are delivering the power. The minute that thought wanders and you begin
to be concerned about things other than that organism, you have blocked the energy flow.

TONY: If you were in that mode of operation, would you be as likely to have a transfer of
your charge to that person's charge?

SHEARIAM: You would not. There is a safety factor in the focus of the awareness.

TONY: That is what I was trying to say in the beginning. Thank you.

KRISTINE: That was very helpful. Thank you.

SHEARIAM: Have we exhausted our topic so soon?

KRISTINE: No, I ... we are just, I think, thinking about it.

KARL: Well, if the topic is exhausted, can I ask some questions? There are words I've never
heard, I don't understand. Like "ying" and "yang."

SHEARIAM: Those are Chinese words symbolic of this positive and negative polarity of which we
have been speaking this night. The "yin" energy is not "ying," it is "yin" and relates to the
feminine aspect, the receptive aspect, what would be said to be the negative polarity. The "yang"
energy is seminal, positive, masculine. They are simply word symbols representing these polarities.

["Thank you."]

PEGGY: When you do a chakra meditation, and you feel your vibrations change, let us say,
is that because each chakra is then using the energy it's receiving in the way it's supposed to be using it?

SHEARIAM: That would be the most likely assumption. It would not necessarily always be so.

CORBIN: When you are going into a healing using these chakras starting at the lower one, and
visualizing the colors, these colors seem to flow through your body. Can you explain that?

SHEARIAM: That is simply an operation of your awareness. That is the way it seems to you.
Each individual will experience the same operation in a little different manner. It has to do with
the perceiving mind.

["Thank you."]

DAVID: What is it we have to be aware of to recharge our own electric field?

SHEARIAM: Not much actually. You tend to do what is necessary. When you get tired, you rest,
and your higher self takes care of it. If you are not allowed to rest for whatever reason, your
higher self, or Source, takes you into the presence of one who has some to spare.

SITTER: What happens if this continues over a long period of time?

SHEARIAM: You become ill.

DOROTHY: Aren't there certain foods that are charged, or more charged, or build up your charge more
so than other foods, live foods?

SHEARIAM: Yes, the assimilation process is one of electro-magnetic exchange in the ionic charge
between the food, the water content of both the food and the body.

KRISTINE: Can you elaborate on what is the best kind of water for us to take in? There is much
discussion in, for instance, Gloria's growth groups regarding the positive and negative ionic water ... if
that's appropriate to discuss that.

SHEARIAM: Yes, water is essential, and the purer the water, the better it is for you. Water which
contains minerals or anything besides the essential molecular structure of water adds different
charges to the charges of the fluid in your body, and thus can become inhibitors to the assimilation
of the energy from the food that you eat, rather than being a facilitator. So the purest water is the
best.

KRISTINE: Would that be like distilled water?

SHEARIAM: That probably is the most pure water available to you, yes.

KRISTINE: "Available to us?" Is there ... what alternatives would there be?

SHEARIAM: As you elevate your consciousness and rise to mastery, you learn to utilize the
molecules of hydrogen and oxygen directly from the air that you breathe, and thus it is not
necessary to take the liquid in, in the combined form.

KRISTINE: Is that the same process, how some yogis are able to be sustained without eating and
drinking for some time?

SHEARIAM: Precisely.

PEGGY: But their bodies do go into a state of suspended animation, do they not?

SHEARIAM: It appears that way to an observer, but all of the body processes continue. They
simply live directly off of the energy as it is brought into the body from universal supply.

TONY: Isn't part of the action of being in this dimension or this realm to be physical and
promote physical activity and transfer some of the energy that we receive, maybe through the crown
chakra or wherever, into physical manifestation?

SHEARIAM: Definitely.

TONY: Then it wouldn't necessarily be always wise to go into some other state that is not
physically active?

SHEARIAM: Rather the reverse. It is not recommended that you retire to a cave in a high
mountain. You are here to experience the sensory world with every vitally alive nerve in your
physical organism. And it is with this in mind that we attempt to teach you to do that with
maximum efficiency.

TONY: Well, then, when you were referring ... it was spoken about the yogi that had
sustained himself on the air and so on, you said that had occurred through a certain level of mastery, is
that level of mastery appropriate in a physical world when they are not performing physical functions?

SHEARIAM: It is appropriate, inasmuch as it demonstrates in short periods of time that it is
potentially available to all. As you elevate your consciousness you transcend this material realm
and do not come back here. I am not suggesting that you all learn to live directly off of universal
energy.

KRISTINE: So it's more that the yogis are doing that primarily for a teaching tool?

SHEARIAM: Yes. It simply demonstrates that the physical organism is the least important in the
hierarchy of your bodies, that life endures without the physical body. This is becoming more and
more apparent as medical science develops ways and means to artificially support the physical
body by interchange of parts and so forth.

CORBIN: Is it possible with this interchange of parts to, say, physically lose a limb and regenerate it?

SHEARIAM: It is possible. As just momentarily ago mentioned, it is not likely to be demonstrated
at this time.

DAVID: Aren't they able to do it with, for instance, on young children, a finger at this time?

SHEARIAM: Yes, it is done in small ways. Your body does it constantly. As you damage your
body, it repairs itself. You are constantly regenerating cells, hair cells, skin cells, cells of internal
organs.

DAVID: That's because we don't know about it, though.

SHEARIAM: Because you do not direct your awareness in that direction.

PEGGY: All illness is a result of the way we think, is it not?

SHEARIAM:Yes, it is.As I gave just this evening, thought, which is comprised of consciousness
and volition, is the positive polarity, and when it operates with the negative polarity of spirit, which
is comprised of life, quality, and quantity, then form results. And as you direct these two polarities
into consideration of the physical organism, you build cells. So if you think illness, you build ill
cells. When you think health, you build health cells.

SITTER: What about animals when they get ill? Are they thinking?

SHEARIAM: Yes, they are thinking.

SITTER: Ill cell thoughts?

SHEARIAM: Yes.

DAVID: So how do we stop thinking ill thoughts?

SHEARIAM: Think health thoughts.

[Laughter.]

DAVID: They keep coming in, though.

SHEARIAM: You do not have to allow anything in your consciousness that you do not want there.
It is your choice. Go back to our first discussion about human consciousness. Read in your papers
the description of what human consciousness encompasses. You choose. You always choose. It is
your responsibility.

DAVID: Yes, but it's like you tell someone not to think about a red ball, or something like
that, they can't help but think about it.

SHEARIAM: Yes they can’t help but think about it.

DAVID: By diverting their thought elsewhere.

SHEARIAM: By focusing their awareness. Remember we talked about the power exchange from
one component to another.

CORBIN: In one of the studies I have been into, it said that you can visualize a screen and put the
word "cancel" across the screen to block anything that you do not want to exist, such as an illness.

SHEARIAM: If your subjective mind will accept the suggestion, it will work.

SITTER: Can we use that term "illness" in a broader sense, like nuclear war, do you think that we,
by our thoughts, that we can change?

SHEARIAM: Yes I do.

DAVID: It's created by our thoughts. So we can change our thoughts and create something
else.

SHEARIAM: Remember that I also said it is thought that is transmitted. And as has been given
here, many start somewhere, and it might as well be here.

PEGGY: That's like the song we sing in church, "Let there be peace on Earth, and let it
begin with me."

SHEARIAM: That is the only place over which you have control. You cannot be at peace in
someone else. You can only be at peace within yourself.

DAVID: So we have to learn to control our thoughts then.

SHEARIAM: That is the message.

DAVID: There must be something I'm not understanding because I still can't control my
thoughts.

[General laughter and comments.]

SHEARIAM: Do you have other words, sir?

KARL: Other words?

[Comment from someone in the group: "She's reading your mind now."]

The word "huna?"

[Comments from the group on spelling and pronunciation.]

SHEARIAM: Huna is a Hawaiian word describing a philosophy, a belief system, a religion.

KARL: That's the last word. [Laughter.]

TONY: You got the last word, huh?

DAVID: On the nine components, two minds, life, quality, quantity, and like that, are those
the nine components of consciousness? Or is consciousness one of those components?

SHEARIAM: Consciousness is one of the components.

DAVID: So all of that together is more than consciousness alone.

SHEARIAM: Correct.

SITTER: What is the electro-magnetic connection between a mother and her child?

SHEARIAM: At an early point in conception, the impregnated ovum develops its own electro-
magnetic field at the direction of the genetic code which it adopts. As you are aware, in any given
pair of male and female, each offspring is uniquely different from another, thus exhibiting the
process of selection or adoption of only portions of the genetic code available to it.

When a cell divides for whatever reason, there are light emissions and sound
emissions. Light emissions are positive, and sound emissions are negative in terms of the polarities
previously discussed. As these two polarities work together they establish form, which in this case
is the electro-magnetic field surrounding the cell and all cells which it produces out of itself.

Thus, from earliest conception a fetus has its own electro-magnetic field
which can be felt by someone outside of the mother. The mother can also feel this electro-magnetic
field if she is sufficiently sensitized in her hands.

As to a connection, the connection is only in the genetic code given to the cell.
The nourishment received by the fetus from the mother is dependent upon the mother's capacity to
channel universal energy up to a certain point in the development of the fetus when its own energy
pattern becomes established.

PEGGY: Is that why some babies are born healthier than others?

["Yes."]

Well, that takes us back to some of the old wives' tales, doesn't it?

SHEARIAM: Now, remember what was given about thought and spirit producing the manifested
form. As the child matures in the womb it can be spoken to. Thought can be transmitted to it. It
has a perceiving mind. It has all the components, and thus the child can be educated within the
womb.

[Tape change.]

... of developing awareness. Even though the in-dwelling entity may not itself
be present, there is all the consciousness of the physical organism to be dealt with. There is
intelligence there, even though in-dwelling entity may not have yet taken possession.

PEGGY: Is that why when we give birth to children we see them following some of the
same patterns that we followed in our lifetimes, because we have instilled that in them?

SHEARIAM: That is right. You have put your thought imprint upon them. Training begins very
early.

DAVID: They don't have to accept any thoughts, do they?

SHEARIAM: In the early stages, that is the way of mankind in his current state of evolution. The
in-dwelling entity may make a difference.

PEGGY: Now that's a whole new subject, isn't it?

DAVID: We've hardly scratched the surface.

PEGGY: But wouldn't that decision of the in-dwelling entity be based upon what he had to
learn?

SHEARIAM: That's presupposing many things. There is a hierarchy of power between universal
ego and individual ego which establishes certain requirements, and thus an entity chooses or is
assigned to a particular vehicle. It is not always because of lessons. This idea has grown out of the
concept of sin and evil. There are times, many of time, when the advantages are bestowed upon an
in-dwelling entity by virtue of the vehicle, such advantages having been earned.

KRISTINE: Can you give an example of that?

SHEARIAM: When you see a person who appears to you to be behaving exploitively or anti-
socially, and still enjoys great happiness, great wealth, whatever may seem superlative to you, those
benefits have been earned.

KRISTINE: Thank you, I think.

SITTER: You mean they have been earned in another lifetime?

["Yes."]

They just kind of coast through this one?

CORBIN: You're talking about reincarnation then?

["Yes."]

Back to the mother being able to transmit thoughts to her unborn child.

PEGGY: Involuntarily transmit thoughts, too.

CORBIN: All right. Couldn't she then say, `I wish him to be a musician,' and transmit this type of
thought to the point that after birth he would be going into a music career?

SHEARIAM: It's possible to imbue that ambition, but if the in-dwelling entity's mission is
otherwise, it will not manifest in a career.

TONY: Could that result in a conflict?

SHEARIAM: Most certainly.

PEGGY: Then a woman who was in all kind of mental conflict and was pregnant can cause
her child to be handicapped in severe ways.

SHEARIAM: Absolutely. This is sometimes at the root of deformed bodies which then the in-
dwelling entity is allowed to forsake. There may have been an assignment at the time of
conception, and the in-dwelling entity not required to take possession until the birth of the body,
and the body is then damaged either by the parental thought or misuse of the organism such as
introduction of drugs, etc. And the hierarchical powers will permit withdrawal of the entity. The
contract will be cancelled, in other words.

PEGGY: Then the medical profession in today's world is sort of taking a lot on itself when it
insists on operating on these babies who are so severely damaged?

SHEARIAM: That is correct.

CORBIN: Is that where the seven-year cycle comes in, if the body is not ...

SHEARIAM: Yes. Going back to an earlier question, if the in-dwelling entity has some superlative
attributes to manifest, the vehicle chosen will be the one most likely to succeed at the realization, or
for the realization of these plans. Thus you may see someone of great talent performing without
training, having, for instance, a concert pianist being given the genetic body that has very flexible,
dexterous hands. And we say, `oh, isn't he fortunate to have those hands.' It is because he has
earned them. Advantages come in many ways, and it is not always in health, it is not always in
money, it is not always in social prestige, and the `unlucky individual' has earned his unluckiness.

PEGGY: By his current thinking, or by his past thinking?

SHEARIAM: By his past thinking. Current thinking can change things.

So, do you have in hand the portent of our message this night? The
importance of thought and spirit and polarity?

[Some affirmative response.]

That is good news to us. Then we shall leave this with you to ponder until
next we meet. Let us prepare ourselves for meditation.

Relax your bodies and relax your minds. For the moment, allow what has
been discussed to drop from your awareness. Focus now your awareness on that top-most point of
your head, the entry point of universal energy. Visualize the plates in your skull as movable ... And
because all things are possible in your imagination, pretend that they are in some way controllable,
that you can slide them apart from each other, thus opening your head to the influx of universal
energy.

If this immediate in-pouring becomes uncomfortable because you have not
been used to taking in all of your supply, you may close up those bones in your head whenever you
are ready. If you can sustain the influx of energy without discomfort, leave them open for a while
... Be aware of the energy as it enters ... as it passes through that mid-point in your brain ... which is
called the brow chakra ... This is the point at which the energy is polarized into acid or alkaline ...
If you have been suffering with indigestion, then think of the alkaline polarity ... If your body has
been irritatingly dry, think of the acid polarity.
Then let the energy pass down through the center of your throat, through the
throat chakra, where the thyroid gland again divides the energy ... One portion of it becomes
anabolic and the other portion becomes catabolic ... and some of it moves down your arm to linger
in your fingertips ... but the greater portion of it becomes re-synthesized in the heart chakra in the
center of the chest, and your body may become very warm as this occurs ... And the energy then
flows down into the solar plexus ... and becomes physical energy ... That is, form in which the
physical organism utilizes it.

And then the energy passes down into the center of the abdomen and your
reserve battery fills up ... and the rest is delivered to the root chakra at the base of your spine. Here
it has become red energy, life promoting energy, creative energy ... And it is apportioned into the
legs, goes down the legs to linger in the toes ... And now as the circulatory system, the lymphatic
system of the body, the blood system of the body and the energy system of the body, that used
energy is drawn up again from the toes to the root chakra.

And now you make the decision as to how that energy is to be transmuted by
you before its return to the universal ... This is the moment when your creative mind functions ...
And now with your creative thought, you draw that energy up into the abdomen ... And there your
creative thought begins to take physical form. And then the energy is drawn up into the solar
plexus ... and out of the solar plexus the thought form which you have created is emitted to find its
substance and reality in your world.. It now has force of its own ... and the life promoting energy is
then drawn up into your chest, where it is transmuted back into what you call spiritual
energy…and you feel love for your created thing, and thus you give it some of your electrical
charge .. And then you draw that energy back up into the throat chakra, and here you give the
thought of power to your created thing, and it is empowered to become alive.

And then you draw that transmuted energy out of the throat chakra into the
center of the head, into the brow chakra, and here you bless your created thing. You imbue it with
good will, with good intention, and pass that transmuted energy back up out of the crown chakra
at this time, drawing up the energy that has lingered in the fingers ... and even as this energy is
passing out of you, other energy comes in and it is a constant flow.

Now allow the head bones to return to their normal position and know that at
any time you wish to create something, you can do this same meditation. Now, with your mind set,
deliver some of your charge to the center of the circle ... Allow that force of your electrical charge to
mingle with the force of the electrical charge all around you, as your auras interpenetrate and you
bring balance to each other, you bring balance to all the energies in the room.

And now you add to the power of those mingled forces your thoughts of love
and with the power chakra, with your voice, you announce the names of your loved ones in
invitation that they may bring their auras here to share in this balancing action.

[Names whispered.]

Now feel within yourselves the balance ... the readjustments ... as you feel that
balance within yourselves, you are aware of peace, of equipoise, and as you are peaceful within
yourself, your creation also experiences peace. And now with those who have come to join you, you
expand your auric field ... Allow the thought of peace to be transmitted ... The further you can
expand your auric field, the further you can transmit your thought of peace ... And with the
combined charges of these fields, the message becomes very powerful.

Now release your loved ones to return to themselves. Draw in your expanded
auras so that you will be protected when you leave the group, but retain within your heart that
sense of peace, that sense of balance, and be ready for the consequences of the manifestation of
your creation ... And now as you bring your awareness back to this room, I bless you all ... Go in
peace 'til we meet again. Good night.
